Costa Coffee, a brand under Coca-Cola in India's commercial beverage sector, recently celebrated the opening of its 150th store in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi. This milestone reflects Costa Coffee's commitment to providing exceptional coffee experiences to its customers across the country.
Costa Coffee made its debut in the Indian market in 2005 by opening its first café in Connaught Place, New Delhi. Over the past year, in partnership with Devyani International, Costa Coffee initiated a significant expansion in India, introducing approximately 60 new stores.
The brand's ongoing objective is to establish new outlets in the top 8-10 cities in India, with a particular focus on specialized locations such as airports, highways, and healthcare facilities. This expansion is part of a broader transformation in India's coffee sector, with a growing emphasis on specialty coffee and premium offerings. Urban millennials, in particular, have played a significant role in turning coffee shops into vibrant social spaces, leading to a notable shift in a nation traditionally associated with tea culture.
The 150th Costa Coffee outlet exemplifies the brand's dedication to offering artisanal coffee crafted from locally sourced ingredients. The menu features a diverse selection of distinctive coffee creations, including popular choices like the Flat White, Classic Corto, Café Caramela, and more, all prepared using locally-sourced coffee beans.
Costa Coffee's General Manager for India & Emerging Markets, Vinay Nair, expressed the brand's commitment to expanding its presence across India: "India is a key market for us globally, and we are proud to commemorate the opening of our 150th store. This milestone truly highlights the overwhelming love and support we have received from coffee enthusiasts across India. Our aim is to extend our presence to every corner of the nation, ensuring remarkable coffee experiences for all."
Furthermore, Costa Coffee's Global CEO, Philippe Schaillee, emphasized the brand's focus on India, stating that it is one of the "priority" markets. Schaillee shared that Costa Coffee plans to add around 50 speciality coffee stores every year in India. The brand believes that India's growth potential is substantial, with a shift towards coffee consumption from tea and rising disposable incomes as key drivers.
To support its expansion, Costa Coffee is not limited to larger cities but is exploring opportunities in segments such as travel hubs, including airports, train stations, and office campuses. The brand's agility enables it to adapt to changing circumstances, ensuring a sustainable and successful growth strategy.
India's coffee market is poised for significant growth, and Costa Coffee is well-positioned to capture a share of this expanding market. With its dedication to quality coffee and a commitment to delivering unique experiences, Costa Coffee is on a mission to bring the rich flavors of coffee to every corner of India.

Six Fields has launched its Summer 2026 campaign, #CheersForMore, bringing internationally recognised cricket umpire Anil Chaudhary on board to create a fresh and engaging cricket-viewing experience. Launched during the ongoing cricket season, the campaign aims to encourage fans to celebrate not only match-winning moments but also the smaller moments that shape the game.
At the centre of the campaign is a digital film featuring Anil Chaudhary in a role not commonly seen in cricket brand campaigns. Instead of focusing only on players and high-impact moments, the campaign highlights the many events that keep fans emotionally invested throughout a match, from wides and dot balls to appeals, boundaries, near misses, and changing momentum.
The idea behind the campaign comes from an interesting insight into fan behaviour. While cricket viewers remain emotionally connected from the first ball to the last, celebrations usually happen only during major moments like sixes, wickets, or final victories. Through #CheersForMore, Six Fields aims to make every moment worth celebrating.
Using familiar umpire signals as a creative element, the campaign transforms official gestures into easy fan reactions that people can use while watching matches together. Through this approach, Six Fields hopes to build a more interactive and socially driven viewing culture among modern cricket audiences.
Speaking about the campaign, Prem Dewan, Chairman and Managing Director of DeVANS Modern Breweries Ltd., said: “Cricket is one of India’s biggest entertainment experience and our campaign #CheersForMore celebrates the energy that exists in every moment of the game. The campaign reflects this energy and encourages fans to engage more actively throughout the game.”
The campaign’s choice of Anil Chaudhary also stands out. While many cricket campaigns usually feature current or former players, Six Fields has selected a personality closely associated with the game’s structure and authenticity. Having retired from IPL umpiring only last year, Chaudhary continues to be recognised as the most experienced umpire in IPL history, bringing familiarity and credibility to the campaign.
The initiative also reflects how cricket consumption habits are evolving, especially among younger audiences. Fans today interact with matches through memes, reels, fantasy leagues, watch parties, social media discussions, and live conversations beyond television screens. Brands are increasingly trying to become part of these moments rather than simply seeking visibility.
The campaign will roll out extensively across digital and social platforms during the cricket season. It will include creator collaborations, fan participation formats, influencer content, and real-time conversations to make the cheering behaviour more engaging and visible online.
Speaking on the campaign, Anil Chaudhary said: “Every signal on the field exists because every moment matters in cricket. Through #CheersForMore with Six Fields, we wanted to bring that same spirit to fans and encourage them to stay engaged with the game beyond just the major moments.”
With #CheersForMore, Six Fields is looking to strengthen its connection with cricket culture, social engagement, and celebration moments during one of India's biggest sporting seasons. Cheers For More with Six Fields!

Sheraton Grand Palace Indore has introduced a new immersive dining concept titled “Sarafa se Chappan,” designed to celebrate the vibrant street food culture of Indore through a curated culinary journey.
The experience brings together the iconic flavours of Sarafa Bazaar’s lively night food scene and the diverse offerings of Chappan Dukan, two of the city’s most celebrated culinary destinations.

Complementing the food selection are locally inspired beverages such as Jamun Shots and Pineapple Crusher, designed to reflect the bold, tangy, and refreshing flavours associated with Indore’s street culture.
The concept is built around storytelling through food, where each dish represents a sensory connection to the city’s culinary heritage. By blending nostalgia with presentation-driven dining, the experience aims to recreate the energy and vibrancy of Indore’s bustling food streets within a premium hospitality setting.
According to the hotel, the initiative is designed to offer guests more than just a meal, focusing instead on immersive dining that engages taste, memory, and culture.

Scheduled every Friday throughout June, the dining experience embraces the essence of La Dolce Vita and recreates the warmth of a classic neighbourhood trattoria in a refined setting.
Guests can look forward to a chef-curated set menu featuring beloved Italian favourites thoughtfully presented with a contemporary touch. The menu will take diners through a carefully planned culinary journey, beginning with elegant antipasti and moving through signature classics before ending on indulgent dessert notes.
